My J. Crew-stalking problem (I live three blocks from one of the brand's New York stores) has gotten a little out of hand lately—and it's about to get worse. According to the ladies at Fashionista, Joseph Altuzarra (whose eponymous label Altuzarra is, like, so amazing and so luxury) is about to roll out a collaboration with J. Crew. Yup.

The Fashionista reporters caught up with Altuzarra last night and he verbally confirmed the collab.

“So we worked on a collaboration,” he told Fashionista. “Which I think will be coming out in a few weeks.”

OMG right?

While no images have yet been released, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some gorgeous black and white tailoring and some fantastic prints.

“Well, it was a really interesting project because it was like a conflation of their language—or of their world—[and] of our world and putting it together,” he said. “And I think that was really interesting for me to work on.”

Here are four looks from Altuzarra's own spring 2012 collection I'd love to see reinterpreted for his collaboration with J. Crew:
